On a cold winter night, Xiao Ling sat at her desk, holding a thick medical book in her hand, her brows tightly locked, as if thinking about some important question. The wind whistled outside the window, and the cold hit her, making her feel some discomfort in her throat.
"Ahem." She coughed softly, her throat growing even more uncomfortable. She frowned and began to think back to the recent condition of her throat.
A few days ago, she suddenly felt a little dry in her throat, and coughed a few times inadvertently, thinking that it was just a temporary minor problem, and she didn't pay much attention to it. However, the discomfort in her throat has not gone away, but has become more and more serious, making her a little anxious.
She remembers that she has been busy with work recently, facing the computer screen all day long, constantly holding meetings and talking, perhaps because her throat is a little wronged. She thought of her friend Xiao Min, who had been in a similar situation before, but later regained her throat health through a TCM conditioning method.
"Maybe I should consult a TCM practitioner to see if it can solve my problem." Xiao Ling thought to herself and decided to go to a Chinese medicine expert the next day.
